1908 SAN FRAN HOUSE

Oznell — Thu, 27 Jan 2022 23:50:11 GMT

It's by the same Suzanne Tucker who did the relaxed coastal house. I thought it would be fun to show a few pictures of her when she does a slightly more "dressed-up" traditional house, but still comfy.

What I love about this sitting room is the coral color of the inside of the bookcase, and the way she picked that up in the room's fabrics.

Beautiful table, used for games, I think.

But maybe my favorite room in this house, is this kitchen, with its soothing colors and woods:

Pretty, welcoming bedroom...

But for some reason, I somewhat prefer this smaller, simpler one. Love the touch of the quilt-- is that "wedding ring"? Looks like it has a little terrace or balcony too.

They were mentioning that they used skylights to bring light into the house, which I can well imagine, since 1908 houses can be dark. But don't you find it ingenious that this swanky vintage pendant light is attached to the skylight! Now, how did they wire that?

Bonus kitchen below, also in San Francisco. In a penthouse this time. I just wanted to show her work in another mode-- of course, that view doesn't hurt at all, does it!

Beautiful rooms, but not for me, all the wrong colors. Also it just doesn't look like someone collected any of this furniture over a long period of time. Like someone won the lottery and went out and bought all this.

I get so excited when I see a post of an interior that @Oznell liked enough to share. This does not disappoint. Just lovely.

Love just about everything in this house. Playing cards, Bingo, or board games on that table is perfect.

Beautiful home, but some I wouldn't do.

In the large living room (great room here?), I don't like the feel of the 1950's or the table and chairs so close to the conversation area. Too crowded.

Her colors had a nice flow. The elements aren't my era.

Never would I ever put anything in front of a fireplace. A fireplace is such a big design element and major focal point, why???

Everything is well put together and flows, it brings back an era to me that I didn't like being in and disliked visually.

I VERY much loved the bonus kitchen and would take it any day!!!!!

My favorite room is the kitchen too.

Love the lighter wood cabinets and the sea glass island.

Very pretty..I like the calm peaceful colors used. The decor flows beautifully from room to room. It is lovely. I think the light fixture hanging in the skylight has the wiring running down one of the pieces of design trim in the window. Then it is connected to an on off switch on the side wall. We had to do that in our Kitchen.

What a beautiful house! There are a few changes I would make but for the most part it is warm, comfortable looking and appealing. I also love the kitchen cabinets, they are lovely and a perfect color. The bedrooms are both nicely decorated. I like this home.

Just beautiful. This is my favorite of the many lovely houses I see here.

This home has so many interesting intentional elements that gracefully coexist. The coral bookcase reflects the same tones in the rug and plays well with the pecan wood table. (I would probably have books in those shelves, but the owner's archaeological/cultural interests are displayed and the color would not be a factor if covered by books.) The graceful fireplace has color that is reiterated in the Chinoiserie vases that are placed on the mantel. The master bedroom is restful yet radiant. The lightness of the room is so peaceful. There are a lot of subtle details especially using textiles and color that have been carefully chosen and integrated throughout the rooms. This is a home well lived and loved....very comfortable and casually elegant.

Some of the decor looks dated to me even though it's Traditonal. The second bedroom has so many things on that bed! You mentioned view from the kitchen. When I lived in San Francisco that is what they are selling -- view and you pay for it. The thing is if you have a view of the water at night it's black so you can't see it.

Re: 1908 SAN FRANCISCO HOUSE

Thank you for sharing another lovely home, @Oznell

Just thought everyone might like to know the bridge seen outside the kitchen window is the SF Oakland Bay Bridge.

lt's probably spectacular at night all lit up and sparkling.

The lights were installed in 2013 and were meant to be temporary but became so popular they were made permanent.

ETA: I reread the first post and realized the bridge view is from a second, different residence.

The home is beautiful. It's just has too much going on for me. I like very simple clean lines. I don't like clutter. The view of the bridge would be worth living there. It must be spectacular at night.

I think this one's been here before or elseone very similar.

Still a NO for me, not a thing here I like.

I like most of the colors & furnishings in the living areas and kitchens. Nice view! Not crazy about the mirror or hanging lights in the sitting room.

My least favorite room is the first yellow bedroom. I don't mind yellow, but this is way too much for me. The second more neutral bedroom is better, but still too many prints for me.

We have water views from our home and it is not black at night - lots of lights on the water in big cities like San Francisco and Seattle. Just depends on where your home is situated.

Beautiful home. I like the different colors in the rooms ... I enjoy seeing how other people can make colors work. Light and airy feel, which as someone else wrote, is hard to accomplish in an older home. And of course, the view, the view is spectacular.

Thanks for sharing.
